Set in a majestic forest on a gentle knoll overlooking the south end of Lake Coeur d'Alene, this esthetic guest house provides a serene, natural experience just a few miles from all the recreation Harrison and greater North Idaho have to offer. Recently re-opened after a partial remodel and in its fifth year as a Vacasa rental, this simple, tasteful retreat is nestled deep in a conservation easement owned by the original homestead family off a quiet, county-maintained gravel road with no neighbors in sight. There are no neighbors, and the connected manor house is not open to the public - when in residence, the owner's family is respectful of your privacy and serenity.
Your guest house was designed for privacy from the adjacent manor house. The great room lets the towering forest view come into through carefully arraigned windows and skylights. One step outside brings you to an outdoor room, a spacious deck dappled in sunlight and shade throughout the day, great for bird watching and occasional game sighting, dining, reading, or just plain lounging. An acre of park-like towering forest glen just off the deck is for you exclusively, and a path leads down to a satellite deck with filtered views up and down Lake Coeur d'Alene. Encounters on the property with white-tailed deer are common, plus moose, elk, and black bear sightings from time to time.
Influenced by the Prairie Style, your guesthouse is simple and functional, with red oak floors and granite kitchen countertops and furnished with an uncluttered Asian-influenced esthetic reflecting the owners' many years overseas in the Far East. The large great room has the kitchen, dining, and socializing. Completing the main floor is the main bedroom with a bed under a Javanese wall carving and the recently remodeled bathroom with private forest views. The basement affords access to the main floor and the washer/dryer.
At the end of our road few miles to the south, lies Idaho Fish and Game's Round Lake Sportsman Access. A few miles to the north on a scenic lakeside drive is Harrison, with a marina, general store, dining, antiques, a premier ice cream parlor, plus comprehensive aquatic and cycle rentals, all on the portal to the incredible Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes. Farther afield is all the four-season wonderland of North Idaho has to offer with its lakes, rivers, National Forests, and world-class bike trails and parks.
